More than 200 boys from the Boys Brigade pulled together at Belfast International Airport over the weekend to pull along a 36 tonne fire tender to raise money for the ŒOpening New Doors campaign.

The aim is to raise £400,000 towards the total project cost of £800,000, to develop the premises into a fit for purpose headquarters, conference, training and residential centre.

The Antrim Battalion has responded to this by organising a sponsored Fire Engine Pull at Belfast International Airport on Saturday. Two hundred boys and leaders took part in the challenge and successfully completed the event.

They are appealing for donations from the NI business community. The Boys Brigade in Northern Ireland moved its Headquarters and Training Centre in March 2014 to Newport, 117, Culcavey Road, Hillsborough, Co.Down.
